Quotation

Biographical
Athenian orator. Aeschines was a powerful figure in politics because of his oratorical gifts. He eventually retired to Asia Minor where Plutarch records he lived as a professional Sophist. A second Aeschines, a student of Socrates, wrote a dialogue "Aspasia," parts of which are preserved in Cicero's "de Inventione Rhetorica."
